Not sure if the current employer (large bean-counter) is more "ethical" in the employment area. Their way of saving money, seems to be by doing less work than they're charging clients for. Allegedly.

By the time our policy matured, we had a £96K interest only mortgage.
During the v. low interest years, we were able to pay off £20K. The policy money and inherited half proceeds of selling my mother's house paid off the rest.

Serial replier: blocked.

Our illustration from Abbey National in 1986 suggested a payout of £48K on a £24K Standard Life policy, to cover £24K int. only mortgage. In the event, payout was only £17K plus £2K mis-selling compensation

Debt was an asset which could be bought and sold, disregarding the doubt about whether or not it would be repaid.
As an aside, during the time son worked there (and at another one), he wasn't actually employed by big bank, but through quasi-self employed tax avoidance setup.

An independent investigation is needed for the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls’ elementary school massacre in Minab. The culprits, whether it's the US, Israel, or Iran, need to be brought to justice in an independent international court, and the truth must be protected.

So presumably this Daily Mail campaign against "foreign-born" voters will quickly be applied to their foreign-born star columnist, Boris Johnson, and their own France-based for tax purposes non-dom owner?

The Foreign Office have issued official advice for UK citizens who now live in Dubai:
"You're on your own you tax-dodging bastards! Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!"

In 2020 Nigel Farage said of MPs who defect & refuse a by-election “it’s not right, it’s dishonorable”

Giving voters the right to have a say on an MPs defection is vital to restoring trust in our politics - and isn’t that exactly what the government has pledged to do?

🇧🇪 Defence Minister of Belgium:

Over the past few hours, our armed forces, with the support of the French Defence, have boarded an oil tanker belonging to the Russian shadow fleet. The vessel is currently being escorted to the port of Zeebrugge, where it will be seized. Operation Blue Intruder.

Farage has been flying around the world trying to raise cash from foreign donors - a fact that deserves a front page a million times more than this autocratic racism

“Labour must stop channelling Reform and unite with progressives. That’s the lesson from Gorton and Denton”
Sadiq Khan

Is this really where we are? A sitting member of Congress going after fellow members like this is wild.

The fake sympathy paired with a swipe at two Muslim colleagues is straight-up Islamophobic garbage.

As Nigel Farage is now so concerned about the influence of "foreign-born voters" can he finally explain why a Kazakhstan-born billionaire appears to be bankrolling his own political party?

Under a Reform UK government, only British citizens will be able to vote. FARAGE: Letting non-British citizens vote in UK threatens democracy

Farage and Reform are bad losers.

Their failure to secure the seat was down to the vast majority of voters roundly rejecting their hate because Gorton and Denton is a progressive place.

68% of voters in the constituency voted Green, Labour or Lib Dem.

Don't let them use lies to twist the truth.

Marjorie Taylor Greene unleashed on the Trump administration over its war with Iran, calling them “sick fucking liars.”

Update: The total number of little girls killed at an elementary school in Minab, Iran, by the US and Israel has risen to 51.

The entire community is devastated, families destroyed.

I guess when they started calling it the Department of War instead of Defense they did it for a reason.

How many people will die because some wealthy men wanted to have sex with underage girls?

This is what these liars promised and what tens of millions of marks swallowed.

Dozens of little girls were killed in war waged to coverup the rape and murder of other little girls by the perpetrators waging it. This is Epsteins war.
